on this switch you can intervene into the traffic flow at any time and lock or release the
affected schedule. It is not possible to start a locked schedule.
Routes with separate occupancy indication
Release of routes can be controlled individually and independently from the occupancy
state of adjacent blocks. It is possible to assign a set of indicators to each route that are
used to determine whether a route is occupied or not. If at least one of these indicators
is turned on then the route is assumed to be occupied. It is possible to assign the same
indicator to several routes. The software provides different options that control, which
indicators are assigned to the route. There is an option called Auto-Detect. When this
option is set, then all indicators located on the recorded track path of the route are
automatically used to determine the occupancy state of the route. It is also possible to
turn this option off and/or to assign an individual set of indicators that does not depend
on the track path of the route. With these indicators it is possible to control independently
from the occupancy state of adjacent blocks, when a route is released.
As outlined on page 142 blocks or routes are not released, until the train reaches a stop
indicator in a subsequent block. If your routes are equipped with an own occupancy indication,
it is possible to turn off this rule. In this case routes can be already released,
when the train reaches the first indicator at the entrance of a subsequent block, assumed,
that the route is not reported as occupied anymore. In this case the track area
covered by such routes is earlier available for other trains.
The rule to release preceding blocks and routes of a certain schedule at the stop indicator
of subsequent blocks should be turned off only, if the routes contained in this schedule
are equipped with an own occupancy indication.
